  1. Find a recipe you like and replace the protein source (aka meat) with 5 spice tofu


  2. I would take half cup Riceland Rice and saute it in oil like peanut, canola, olive oil until it is golden in color.   Then I would add a few sweet peas from a can, a scrambled egg, and a dash of soy sauce.   Add twice as much water as rice and cook for twenty minutes on a low setting.

  3. This is the recipe I make for my family at home all the time! Feel free to add in any other vegetables you like. Its really good with broccoli as well!

    You will need:

    3 cups jasmine rice (or whatever rice you prefer) already cooked

    1 medium onion chopped

    1 carrot chopped

    1 cup frozen peas

    2 garlic cloves minced

    a teensy bit of ginger

    2 eggs

    salt

    pepper

    Parsley (as much as you like)

    Soy Sauce (you choice)

    2 teaspoons sesame oil

    1 tablespoon of Sugar (or two teaspoons of teriyaki sauce)

    3 Chopped Scallions

    vegetable oil

    In a medium sized saucepan, over medium heat, heat up some vegetable oil (2-3 tablespoons) and add in your eggs, which have been beaten. Scramble them up. To that add you onions, garlic, ginger, carrots and peas and cook for 5 mins. Once the veggies have gotten some color, add in the rice, followed by the sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar. While mixing, cook for another 2-3 mins. Add in salt and pepper to taste (you shouldn't need much b/c soy cause is salty) and turn off heat. Add scallions and parsley on top!

    Enjoy!

  4. Fried Rice with chicken

    (Kao paht kai)

    Serves 1

    1/2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

    2 cups cooked jasmine rice, at room temperature or from the refrigerator

    1 egg, lightly beaten with 1/2 tsp. water

    1 tsp. light soy sauce(Kikkoman or "Dragonfly brand" thin soy sauce)

    1/2 tsp. fish sauce

    1/4 tsp. ground black or white pepper

    Pinch of white sugar

    1 cucumber, peeled and sliced 1/8 inch thick

    Lime, fresh red chiles, scallion(optional)

    Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a wok until hot, but not smoking, over medium high heat. Cook chicken until just cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the 1/2 Tbsp. fish sauce, as you are cooking, to the meat. Remove from wok and set aside.

    Heat the additional 2 1/2 Tbsp. oil in wok. Add the smashed garlic, cook briefly (just 30 seconds). Add the rice, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or metal turner. Add the cooked chicken. Toss together in the wok. Add the soy sauce and 1/2 tsp. fish sauce. Add the beaten egg, pepper, and sugar. Continue to stir-fry until heated through and grains of rice are seperated. Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly(add more fish sauce if it needs more salt).

    Remove to serving dish and garnish with cucumber, scallion, lime wedge, and fresh red chile peppers.

    Fried Rice Recipe:

    Serves 4 to 6

    Ingredients:

    4 cups cold cooked rice

    4 tablespoons oil

    3 beaten eggs

    1 teaspoon salt

    Pepper to taste

    1 scallion, chopped fine

    Directions:

       1. Break rice apart with wet hands

       2. Heat oil on high flame in wok. Stir-fry rice rapidly, turning spatula constantly until the rice is thoroughly heated.

       3. Make a well in center of rice. Pour in beaten eggs. Stir eggs until they are scrambled. Then stir-fry eggs into the rice until thoroughly blended. Add salt and pepper. Stir-fry 30 seconds. Add scallion.

    May be prepared in advance. May be frozen. Reheat before serving.

    Finally, here are a few basic tips for cooking rice:

        * Always use long grain rice - short grain rice is used only for desserts and snacks in Chinese cooking.

        * Rinse the rice in water to get rid of excess starch.

        * Use 1 cup rice to 1 1/2 cups water.  For example, when cooking 2 cups of rice you would use 3 cups of water.

        * Bring the rice to a boil at medium heat (about 4 on the dial).

        * When boiling, turn the heat down to medium low (about 3) and tilt the lid on the pot. This allows the steam to escape.

        * Let the water evaporate.  When you can see craters (holes) in the rice, put the lid on tight.

        * Turn the heat to low, and simmer for another 15 minutes.

        * Fluff up the rice, and serve.

    hope these help.  good luck and enjoy.

  5. Make some white rice, steamed, as normal, 4 cups.

    Chop about 1/2 cup green onions (about the thickness of the width of your pinky fingernail).

    Use 2 large eggs (is this ok for you to eat?) and beat the eggs until they're smooth. Add black pepper, as much as you prefer.

    Heat a wok with 4 tbsp oil. This can be vegetable oil or other sorts, it's up to you. Sometimes I use sesame oil, which I think tastes nice, but it's fairly expensive. It's really a matter of what you have access to, any type should be fine!

    When the oil is heated, pour the scrambled eggs in and let them fry just like scrambled eggs. Some people like big chunks of egg in their rice, others like small chunks, so chunk it up as you like. When it's done, remove the eggs from the wok and put it on a plate.

    You might refresh your oil with another 1-2 tbsp depending on how dry the pan is. When the oil is hot again, dump the rice in the wok bit by bit so you don't splash yourself. Use wooden chopsticks or a wooden spoon to break it apart into loose chunks. Stir it for a few minutes and then add 1-2 tbsp of soy sauce.

    Keep stirring until the soy sauce is mixed evenly. Now add the scrambled eggs back to the rice and stir in the green onions. Mix it for another minute and then remove from heat, serve hot!

    If you want to lighten the recipe, use lighter oils and less oils. It doesn't work well with oil spray though, sadly. You can also use only egg whites if you want. You can also add water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, or even use teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce. It's a lot of fun!
